Thanks for taking the time to write this guide! This answered a lot of my questions. A few more I had though.

With regards to detecting other mercenaries:

If you be grouped with players who are using the system, they will not be identified to you as mercenaries -- they'll look like just another player from your faction, and vice versa.

By your wording, would this mean a Horde player acting as an Alliance mercenary would view other Horde players as Horde? I.e. Would you in anyway be able to differentiate other mercenaries if you are a mercenary yourself?

You state that racials are changed to those of the opposing faction. With regards to this, do specific Horde races ALWAYS change to a single Alliance race, or vice versa? For example does a Night Elf always turn into a Blood Elf, or is the race you change into random? It would be interesting to get a random racial as a mercenary.

EDIT: To answer my own second question, I managed to compile some data from various sources to determine which races you would turn into using mercenary mode, based on starting class and race. Each starting race will have a fixed race that they turn into, as below.

This was meant to get Alliance players to queue as Horde, so their queue times would be shorter. However, won't this also result in Horde players who are not interested in race/faction changing, to be able to queue as Alliance (who still have superior racials, despite the recent 6.2.2 changes) and take advantage of the better Alliance racials?

I forsee this actually making queue times worse, because Alliance do not want to play as Horde, and Horde want to get Alliance racials for PVP without paying for a faction change.

Poof! Suddenly everyone's queueing as Alliance!

We'll see what actually happens....

Comentario de Rokiyam

If you're using a PvP title that is faction specific, such as "Scout" or "Private", the title will not switch over with everything else and you will instead take on a different title. Not sure if it's random or what, because I went from Stone Guard to Firelord and those are nowhere near each other on the list. When you leave you'll keep the title it switched you to so you'll have to manually change back to your PvP title.

Well Im going to try this out looks interesting Cannot wait

Comentario de Netcownt

I'd like to point out that mercenary mode does help Nemesis quest completion.

Not yours, of course, but the opposite faction players, namely, from my experience as Alliance, those killing goblins or pandas, rare creatures in the horde phálanx until mercenary mode came up.

Please worgen players comment, but I would bet that worgen become mercenary goblins, and pandas, well... pandas become mercenary pandas.

I'm stating this purely on statistic basis. It took me months to kill 60 goblins (without 'cheating', ie, without getting free kills) and in 2-3 days after 6.2.2 I killed another 60 goblins.

Can i still work towards the Master of Isle of Conquest achievement while in Mercenary Mode? I really like that tabard but Horde always loses on that BG :(

Comentario de Xhamster

mercenary mode is a role play in a role play game lol. no wonder it's fun to play.

but i get to say race matters a lot. for example, im a ne rogue in alliance. but mercenary mode changes my race in to troll. that's absolutely not a good choice for rogue pvp.

if blizzard can give players the right to have their own choices. it will be much more better.

Comentario de Bullfish90

I joined horde side as a mercenary with my gnome monk and changed to blood elf. After I tried to use Torrente Arcano it teleported me back to Stormshield. I sense it's a bug, but I'm curious what community thinks.

Comentario de littlewolfjt

I did this on my Worgen Druid and had fun. Because I use ElvUI, I can see who is in mercenary mode or not. I did get a little confused as to where to go because I know that I was on my alliance toon, and looking for the alliance flag in the BG I was in.

Over all, I enjoyed the short - very short - less then one minute que, and will do it again.

Comentario de ItsEllienet

Players will automatically have their race changed into one appropriate for the opposite faction which means their model, including tooltips, will be completely changed and unrecognizable as being "disguised".

Tooltips will still display the original/true race of the player for users of ElvUI.

Comentario de Bananamans

Still waiting as Horde for Mercenary mode for Ashran. Waited over an hour sometimes and no Mercenary NPCs show up. As I type this I have been sitting in a queue for 30 minutes and I am not the only one waiting for Ashran. Does this only work for Alliance or does the queue time have to be a very long time?

Comentario de westomopresto

I just wanted to say that, I know a lot of people are confused or upset with this system. But..

When I'm on Horde or Alliance I always try to win.

Comentario de Vagiulis

Interestingly, you can still bear the title 'Hordebreaker' as a disguised-to-Horde Alliance player. A bug most likely, but a funny one. No one has noticed it in a BG yet.

Comentario de ShadowS88

Has anyone else not seeing the mercenary npc since the legion pre patch?

Comentario de Adunai

There is a typo in this guide. It should be visible instead of "visable".

Comentario de Aladrias

The mercenary NPCs have now moved from Stormshield to Dalaran. See Sargento Wilson (for horde) or Nassar (for alliance) just down the stairs, into the Dalaran sewers, near the flight point.
